The Bravoes of Chinatown.

The highbinders are the bravoes OF
Chinatown, wherever Chinatown exists In
this country. They form a gang OF
toughs who live by blackmail and VIC
lence. They are ready to commit any
crime for pay. In San Francisco, what
little Miss Wren would call their tricks
and manners are well known.
The Chinese colonies are governed by
laws enacted within themselves. The
Chinaman does not go to our courts when
lA has trouble with a fellow heaEhen.
appeals to sort Of star chamber OF
hS own creation, and fines, assaults and
death are melted out by it according to its
Judgment. These decisions the high
binder Is employed to enforce. Things
are probably as bad with us as they are
In San Francisco, but the highbinder is
such an essential TO the Chinese social
economy that should be surprised to
hear that he has no existence here.
The ordinary weapon Of this leprous
rufiian during my time in San Francisco
was an iron bar attached loosely to his
wrist with a leathern thong. The bar
was short and ponderous, and was car
ried concealed in his flowing sleeve. A
rap of it would knock man senseless. A
blow, with the leverage given it by the
thong, would strike q man dead. The
bar always did its work effectually and it
made no noise. For more serious opera
lions a short handled Ratchet was also
utilized. This was also carried in the
sleeve. The heavy head was sharpened
to razor edge One blow would divide
the hardest skull like new cheese. AL
Chinese murders in those days were COM
mitted with the Ratchet or the bar. The
revolver only came in later, and has never
been popular. The noise it makes prob
ably shakes the susceptible nervous Or
